"But I will always be Curufinwë. And you, you, Atar. You will always be with me.”

Absolutely punched me right in the middle - just a gorgeous piece all around, and little Celebrimbor at the end, Feanor speaking to his son's cradle, just so gentle and full of complicated, tense, tenuous yet indubitably present love. Will be reading this many times I'm sure!
 

I'm so glad you liked it, this really cheers me up! I especially appreciate your comment, as I truly wanted to portray a son coming to understand his father's love. Thank you so much for your kind words: you truly made my day :D

Woah, your writing style is so powerful! My heart literally clenched while I was reading, and I could really feel Curufin's emotions throughout! He captured the essence of his relationship with his father into the jewel, and so did you with this story!

you're so kind! My writing has been a bit 'atrophied,' and I admit I worried that some parts might come across as a bit convoluted, so I'm really glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean a lot  to me :')
